Solar Panels are Where Its At |
| 6/2/2010 9:37:34 AM |
Several weeks ago we noticed that it appeared as though our neighbors down the street were having solar panels added to their home and I couldn’t help but find myself a little curious about them. For a while, I’d been doing a little research online about the benefits of having solar panels and the benefits were outstanding. I loved the fact that it could slash our electric... Read More |

Going Green by Clicking Buy |
| 5/27/2010 7:21:02 AM |
 Many aspects in how I live support the going green movement. There are the fluorescent light bulbs in the majority of our apartment light sockets, the low flush toilet, keeping the patio screen door open instead of running the air conditioner, skateboarding instead of driving and shopping online instead of adding to traffic in the city. The funny thing is that each one of... Read More |

Evolution of Oilrigs Needed After Another Oil Spill Destroys the Environment |
| 5/25/2010 12:43:51 PM |
 The world has turned their attention to alternative forms of energy but that has not lessened our need for oil. It is a natural resource that won’t last forever but there is still enough around to keep the world running for some time. I don’t think there has been another form of energy, other then oil that has wreaked so much havoc on our environment. There have been only... Read More |

We Should All Do Our Part to Help Stop Global Warming |
| 5/24/2010 6:20:38 AM |
It seems like everywhere you look in the media, someone is talking about global warming. It has been something that I’ve shown a great deal of interest in and the topic of conversation during dinner on more than one occasion in our household. It seems as though if we don’t do something to change global warming, the Earth we live on is serious trouble, which means that... Read More |

After all, it’s the only one we have, and needed for future generations. My parents have been considering solar panels for... Read More |

Easy to Generate Free Electricity for Solar Cooking Using Sunshine |
| 5/10/2010 3:27:47 PM |
 This summer we are planning a working vacation by packing up the kids and heading to the beaches of Southern California where we plan to camp and set up our solar ovens during the day to solar cook. We cook just about everything using sunshine because the energy is free and is an incredibly effective way to cook and help the environment at the same time. This will be our... Read More |

Largest Hydroelectric Power Plant On Planet Planned for Amazon |
| 4/21/2010 4:53:43 AM |
 When Brazil is brought into the equation, the first things that pop into my mind are beautiful women, beautiful beaches and a friendly atmosphere. I now am equating Brazil to the forerunner on hydroelectric power after reading an article titled Brazil pushes ahead with Amazon power plan from the Financial Times. The country is planning to build the world’s largest... Read More |

Solar panels and going green is here to stay |
| 4/18/2010 10:29:23 AM |
 Solar panels for saving energy are finally making it to the conversation for use on everyday homes. Down here in Arizona, the state is trying to entice business and big going green companies to build and have their headquarters and factories here. With all the sunshine we have here, you would think it would be a done deal, but there has to be incentives for the companies... Read More |

Going Green a Good Way to Save Money and Protect the Environment |
| 4/12/2010 8:40:10 AM |
 One of the biggest motivations I have for going green is saving the green. We have a hot summer coming up and our air conditioner is the single-most energy consuming appliances we have in the house. Normally our electric bills run about $50 a month in the winter, but jump to over $250 in the summer when the air conditioner goes on. I heard on the news that we could get a... Read More |

Going Green in New Apartment Complex |
| 4/1/2010 4:05:06 PM |
 About a month ago, I had all of my plans set and ready to go as to where I’d be living when my old lease ran its course. The people I was set to live with fell through and shortly thereafter I was online searching like a mad man for new places to live. Almost like fate, two buddies also needed a place to live and the rest is history. Our search was short but thorough. We... Read More |

Things to Know about Energy Tax Rebates |
| 3/26/2010 3:03:22 PM |
 Don’t get me wrong energy tax rebates are a shining example of our government working to create a cleaner tomorrow but there are a few things to know about them, I picked up after talking to the tax man. So in 2009, my family installed a Energy Star rated heat pump unit. Basically, these work as both the heater and AC with a fan unit up in the attic and a condenser... Read More |

Save Money, Protect the Environment, and Eat Well with Solar Cooking |
| 3/11/2010 2:21:29 PM |
 January 2010 was one of the cloudiest we have had in Phoenix in years. We had chilly weather and lots of rain, and when I got my electric bill I almost croaked. We had to do all our cooking in the house because it was too cloudy to cook in our solar ovens outside. We had to use the stove and oven and our electric bill sure reflected it. Solar cooking is not only a big... Read More |

| 2/27/2010 1:41:53 AM |
 Well it looks like America is set on going green as the U.S. EPA looks for more funding for climate programs according to a New York Times article out today. The point of more funding is to fight the large amount of greenhouse gases in this country. It is funding for the future. While the jury is still out on Global Warming, there are plenty of politicians bent on making... Read More |

Documentary Has Me Going Green |
| 2/25/2010 6:10:32 PM |
 The defining moment when I started really taking notice to the environment occurred at of all places my friend’s grandparents. I was over there for dinner and before the food was on the table we watched a Blu-Ray documentary on the planet. The focus was rare wildlife, hard to reach environments and natural wonders. In super high definition on a very large flat screen, I... Read More |

Going with hydroelectric power to save cash, the environment! |
| 2/25/2010 5:01:51 PM |
 I am really excited because I got a letter in the mail the other day from the local electric company that is enticing people to try out their new hydroelectric power system to save some more money. You have to live in a certain area and meet certain requirements to get the hydroelectric power that they are offering, as well as purchasing an affordable box so they can... Read More

Going Green on an Olympic Scale |
| 2/19/2010 2:07:22 AM |
 The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are in full swing with already some extremely emotional medal ceremonies and I can’t get enough of the continuous coverage. Between Men’s Super Pipe, Luge and Alpine Skiing, it is hard to fathom how these athletes have so much talent and body control to basically own a mountain at over 90 MPH or while doing flips through the air. Being in... Read More |

California Company Sells Solar Thermal Energy to International Buyer |
| 2/10/2010 7:31:20 PM |
 California is known all across the country as a state that has been going green before it was a political buzzword. Until living in the state, I never really thought about it. After getting here all the hype about Californians working hard to save our environment is true. I have never seen more hybrid vehicles then in the Malibu area. Routinely there are young people with... Read More |
